John Curtis sworn in

Newly elected Utah Rep. John Curtis was sworn in before Congress on Monday as House Republicans hope to earn his vote for upcoming tax reform, according to the Deseret News.

Curtis, who was sworn in on a Bible that belonged to his mother-in-law, shared the importance of family in his speech after being sworn in.

Curtis highlighted how his wife Sue's great-grandmother, Martha Hughes Cannon, was the first female state senator in U.S. history.

Salt Lake County leaders announced on Monday that they will join several other counties and states to sue opioid drug manufacturers, the Deseret News reported.

"I expect to see damages for the harm that has been caused to our community," Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams said. "But more importantly, we want to change the outrageous behavior that is harming families and harming the safety of our community."

The announcement comes with Operation Rio Grande underway in Salt Lake City. The effort looks to clean up one of the area’s most troubled neighborhoods.

McAdams said the county won’t stand by and watch crime unfold any longer.

"We are heartbroken and outraged by the stories of families of our residents and the death and destruction they see in their lives," McAdams said. "We cannot afford to stand by any longer.”

British Prime Minister Theresa May said that she believes Russian President Vladimir Putin meddled in multiple elections across the world, BBC reported.

May said Putin’s government also carried out cyber attacks, looking to “undermine free societies,” BBC reported.

She also accused Putin of planting fake news stories to encourage discord and frustration in the U.S.

"Russia has repeatedly violated the national airspace of several European countries and mounted a sustained campaign of cyber espionage and disruption,” she said. "This has included meddling in elections and hacking the Danish Ministry of Defence and the Bundestag among many others."
